Spokesman for the Police special investigating unit, the Hawks, Hangwani Mulaudzi said “Lieutenant General Ntlemeza wishes to categorically distance the DPCI from baseless and malicious reports, which are designed and clearly aimed at casting denunciations on the three Ministers – Minister of Public Enterprises Lynne Brown, Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies and Minister of Defence Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula”.
He, however, confirmed that the DPCI received an affidavit from former MP Vytjie Mentor (pictured above), which was handed over to the Hawks by the Western Cape Provincial Commissioner’s office for further processing.
“The content thereof, which cannot be revealed since it is now subject to an enquiry, is being probed by the DPCI Anti-Corruption Unit. In the said statement though, there is no mention of the three Ministers.
“There is no case docket opened as the investigations into the inquiry are still ongoing. It is therefore malicious to suggest that the Hawks are influencing a decision to investigate the three Ministers,” said Mulaudzi.
